Our temperature here in Dallas, Texas is supposed to hit about 103 degrees today. Phoenix, Arizona expects to hit at least 100 degrees every day this week.

For the most part, we have a certain look that we wear to work and a certain look that we wear out on the town. And when it is a Saturday night, we have all the time in the world to get ready. But what do we do if the date is in the middle […]
